June Victoria King of Loudonville, passed away at the Eddy Heritage House in Troy following a brief illness on Wednesday July 17, 2019.

Born in 1938, the only child of John and Valerie (Corron) King, June grew up on “The Farm” in Plattsburgh. NY.

June taught Home Economics for the City School District of Albany for 11 years and then was appointed as Supervisor of Home Economics and Career Technology, retiring in 1993.

June had a generous, giving heart.Her most beautiful and significant quality was her nurturing spirit.Her family and many friends have all been recipients of June’s kindnesses.Although patience was not one of her virtues, as many can attest to, she was a strong-willed woman who wasn’t happy unless she was planning a party or had a major project underway.She always took great pride in everything she did.She remodeled several homes, perfected her ever so beautiful gardens wherever she lived and spend countless hours researching not only her family genealogy but that of many others.

June was predeceased by her parents, a close cousin Francis King, his wife Winifred and their son Tom.She is survived by several cousins, near and far, and many long-time friends in the Albany area.June was a true lover of all animals and is survived by her special feline companion, Precious.
